Help me purchase some cold hardy cactus

I just completed my raised bed to grow some cold hardy cacti but I'm having trouble finding a place to purchase them online. I have some opuntia humifusa but that's it for now. I wanted to buy some Opuntia polyacantha but I can't find any place online that has them in stock and I'm not sure I trust eBay. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, any other suggestions would be welcome! I'm in the Lehigh Valley PA area which is zone 6b.
Thanks!

It sounds like you already know what kind of cacti you want, but if not, I heartily recommend Leo J. Chance's Cacti & Succulents for Cold Climates. Chance lives in Colorado and has successfully grown everything in the book.

What an awesome suggestion! My local library has this as an e-book.
Thank you!
